Stereotypes and Stigma
In the debate on welfare reform, stereotypes of women on welfare have resurfaced, and most proposals for reform are designed to modify and regulate women's behaviors. This article, based on information obtained in focus groups of recipients of Aid to Families with Dependent Children, examines how women manage the stigma of being welfare mothers and what they think about "cheating" the system. The most striking difference between recipients of the…
Listening to the Voices of Battered Women
This article reports on a study that used focus groups to determine what helps battered women get out of their abusive relationships and survive and grow once they have left their abusers. The principles for social work practice with battered women that were derived from this research are based on the women's accounts of their experiences and of their needs
The Participants' Perspective on the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training Program
In this study, we sought to bring into view the perspective of welfare recipients regarding the nation's welfare employment program, the Job Opportunities and Basic Skills Training program. We conducted face-to-face interviews with participants in four communities and completed follow-up telephone interviews several months later. The findings indicate that participating in a welfare employment program can be a worthwhile experience for mothers on…
Feminism and Constructivism
In this article, I explore the tensions between constructivism and feminism in teaching a course on social work practice with women. Drawing on modernist feminist theory, I examine the conflict between validating the stories that women construct for themselves, while raising women's awareness of the difficulties in constructing liberated stories in an oppressive society. I discuss strategies I have used in the classroom to address, albeit not res…
A Shelter
Shelters for battered women have been idealized as collectivist organizations that empower residents and staff alike. Qualitative research at a battered women's shelter indicates that despite an implicit philosophy of empowerment , a shelter is indeed an organization like any other. Two separable organizational structures were identified: an egalitarian, collectivist structure for the relationships among staff members and a hierarchical structure…
Services for Battered Women
The public policy response to wife abuse is examined through an analysis of federal legislation and a case study of one state's approach to the problem. Federal policy has been framed by a generic view of family violence, resulting in an emphasis on enhanced family functioning and the use of the criminal justice system to punish and protect family members engaged in abusive violence. In contrast, New York State has recently returned to a policy p…
Views of Wife Abuse
This article explores the attitudes of service providers toward abused women and abusing men from the perspectives of masculine and feminine research. The masculine approach revealed widespread victim blaming among the respondents. The feminine approach revealed that, when given the opportunity to explore the problem at length, service providers avoided making judgments and worked at understanding and explaining the men's and women's behaviors. T…
Battered Women
In 1976, social workers discovered that wife abuse was a major social problem affecting a large, diverse group of women. This article traces changes in social workers' perspectives on the problem. The author concludes that the increased focus on individual and couple treatment has deflected attention away from the social origin of the problem
A Feminist Approach to Social Work Research
A central contributor to the current dissatisfaction with social work research, the author argues, is that most of the research produced for the profession uses a male model of knowledge development that is alien to women, who constitute the majority of those whose task it is to put the knowledge into action. This article analyzes female and male methodologies in terms of their respective themes of connection and separation and explores the ways …

Female and Male Voices in Social Work
Drawing on the work of Carol Gilligan, the author analyzes the rift between clinical social work practitioners and academicians and researchers in terms of gender. The ways in which social work clinicians speak primarily with female voices and social work academicians speak primarily with male voices are examined. The author argues that the female voice has been suppressed by the prevailing male model of knowledge development in the university an…
Beliefs of Service Providers about Abused Women and Abusing Men
Although much has been written about the multiple service needs of battered women, little attention has been given to whether the diverse service providers share common perceptions of the clients' problems or agree on the solutions. This article presents the findings of a study indicating that, although substantial agreement does exist, the extent of disagreement highlights the need for closer case coordination and joint training of service provi…
